Mvg is bottling this...

[Alf]

MVG through to the semis

Lewis vs Wade up next

[King Gizzard]

Webster :(

Going off MVG dramatically

Will support him in the semis vs lewis though

[MTVN]

How class is Lewis, going to destroy MVG

[Novo]

Adrian is back after a terrible past year

[Jemal]

I hate the way mvg acts on stage..
Still like him, but the way he looks up at the screen every 1 dart he throws.
Hes just too arrogant.

Having said that, i want him to batter lewis.

[Alf]

Semi finals night starting


Come on Jackpot

[Black Dagger]

Destroy the tosspot MVG <33

[Alf]

Snakebite through to the final, He destroyed Whitlock.

[Alf]

The big one starting now

Jackpot vs Mighty Mike

[Alf]

MVG on fire 3 sets to nil up.

[King Gizzard]

get in

not going to last though, if Webster can pull it back Lewis will at least make it a contest

[Black Dagger]

How class is Lewis, going to destroy MVG

:pipe:

[Alf]

4 nil

[King Gizzard]

I've still got a bad feeling that Lewis will come back, but MVG only needs one more set then he will probably win

[Alf]

5 nil

[King Gizzard]

Van Gerwen's got it. Lewis isn't going to win 6 in a row

[King Gizzard]

What a great final it will be, I won't care who wins it

[Alf]

Game set match

Massacre

[King Gizzard]

How class is Lewis, going to destroy MVG

[Black Dagger]

How class is Lewis, going to destroy MVG

I'd stick to the cricket in future young sir.

Hopefully Wright performs in the final. But I am looking forward to it.

[Novo]

best Snakebite can hope for is MVG having a lapse like he did against Webby and then he'll need to average 105-110 in the final which he is capable off then he'll be in with a chance. MVG is taking out ridiculous checkouts at the minute though that can just turn the match in an instant. also hopefully the crowd get behind Snakebite though and not MVG.

[King Gizzard]

think he might get cocky again, and Wright wont **** up like Lewis did, it will be closer but MVG will still have it

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/6xIGBG4.png

he is avoiding us like the plague

[MTVN]

Well this world champs has been a joke from start to finish, not even worth watching the final

[MTVN]

Bollocks to it all

[King Gizzard]

MVG didn't like Peter Wright saying ''Michael Van Who'' even if it was a joke :joker:

[Novo]

don't you worry the Lakeside is on soon

[King Gizzard]

rather claw my eyes out then watch that ****e

[MTVN]

Yep almost time for the real darts now

[Novo]

traditional darts that aren't ruined by Sky's megabucks, can't beat it.

[MTVN]

The old school, hopefully Bunting can win it this year

http://images.sportinglife.com/13/01/800x600/Stephen-Bunting-Lakeside-2013_2882815.jpg

[King Gizzard]

what's the prize money like

[Black Dagger]

-Quite likes the fact Taylor and Lewis are nowhere near the final-

[MTVN]

what's the prize money like

100k for the winner I think, probably proportionate for the standard compared to the PDC

[Jemal]

Where does it get shown.

[Alf]

Time for the final

Peter Wright has played to well for it to be a walkover

Could there be a shock on the cards or is it MVG's time

I go 7-5 Van Gerwen

[Alf]

First set to MVG 3 legs to 1

[Alf]

2 nil

[MTVN]

Yeah Wright's done

[MTVN]

Where does it get shown.

Will start on the BBC in a couple of days

[Alf]

3 nil, "They think its all over"

[MTVN]

Stick a fork in it

[Alf]

4 nil

Like shelling peas

[Alf]

Hey up, Wrights of the mark

4-1

[Alf]

It's now 4 - 2

Fat lady sings and all that

[Alf]

Wright missed a dart for 4-3

It's now 5-2

[Alf]

6-2

[King Gizzard]

Wright now has to win 5 in a row

[Alf]

6-3

He's not having his belly tickled

[Alf]

6-4

one more and MVG gets brown underpants

[Alf]

Michael Van Gerwen is champion of the World.

[MTVN]

A cracking finish, didn't think he would hit that double first dart after missing the board on the visit before

[Black Dagger]

Great match. So pleased for MVG and surely Snakebite is in Pl now

[MTVN]

No Hamilton :(

[Alf]

Premier league line-up just been announced by Barry Hearn


Michael Van Gerwen
Phil Taylor
Adrian Lewis
Simon Whitlock
Raymond Van Barneveld
Peter Wright
Robert Thornton
Gary Anderson
Dave Chisnall
Wes Newton

No Hammer

But more shocking no James Wade

[MTVN]

No Wade either, surprising

Taylor
MVG
Lewis
Whitlock
Wright
Thornton
Barney
Newton
Chizzy
Anderson

[Alf]

Beat you to it

[MTVN]

Lewis, Barney or Anderson to win

Though it won't be Barney or Anderson

[Black Dagger]

**** off Chissy

[Alf]

Cant believe the likes of Newton who finished bottom last year and hasn't done anything in the TV tournaments and No bottle Chisnall get in above Wade (7 time major winner and former PL winner) who reached another World Quarter final this time.

[King Gizzard]

Bull**** excuse to not put Wade in

[Alf]

I was hoping Scott Waites was gonna come across for The Premier League.

[MTVN]

Be interesting to see Wade's response to this, if he hadn't been talked to about it I would expect him to be very pissed off, might mean we don't see much of him this year as well

Suppose ultimately the PL is just an exhibition and all about the tv money and entertainment, so the bigger characters like Barney and Anderson will always be favoured no matter how they're playing

[Alf]

A response to his omission from Wade

http://www1.skysports.com/darts/news/12040/9098908/james-wade-bitterly-disappointed-to-miss-out-on-premier-league-darts

[Novo]

he seems to have coped with his mental health a lot better then in the past, unless something has happened behind the scenes that has triggered this

[King Gizzard]

On his day though Wade's all round manner if he's playing well is quite entertaining, ok not his darts but he loves a good dance/doing summersaults on the stage

[Novo]

His body language is a lot better now then it use to be a few years ago when he didn't seem assed about the game at all, he reminds me of Ronnie in many ways actually

[MTVN]

Waites is a set down and a break down in the second set in his first round match

[MTVN]

2 sets down now

[MTVN]

He's out!!! 3-0 defeat in round 1

[MTVN]

Watching the highlights now, great to see Kong destroying that muppet Richie George

[Novo]

Richie will be a lakeside champion one day, it is not his time yet, Robbo is looking good this year

[King Gizzard]

that thud every time a dart hits the board

[King Gizzard]

played darts in a pub today, actually got a 140 at one stage but I suppose that's quite easy to do it's all about finishing your doubles which I suck at

Could probably play in this tournament if it was based on scoring though

[Novo]

soz wolfy

[MTVN]

We will see Nathan up there taking down Tony O Shea in the first round next year

[MTVN]

I am looking to secure my first win of the season in our game tomorrow night, I have become too much of a big stage bottler in recent times

[Novo]

just you remember mvg was made by the bdo

[King Gizzard]

do you get walk out music, cause I would have to choose Ring of Fire

[MTVN]

Yeah in the BDO they do, most of the BDO walk on songs are better than the PDC ones I think, just not the same rowdy atmosphere when it's happening

[Novo]

the pubs always have the cheap bronze darts, got more chance of scoring a 180 with a set of feathers

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/F4KfJnu.jpg

the best walkout music of all time can anybody tell me what it was for 5 points

[MTVN]

Without googling I have no idea

the pubs always have the cheap bronze darts, got more chance of scoring a 180 with a set of feathers

Yeah those are always shocking lol, normally massive things impossible to control

[King Gizzard]

8kAU3B9Pi_U

[MTVN]

Hang on is that guy in the pic you posted actually a pro

[King Gizzard]

Bob anderson

[MTVN]

Ah proper old school

[King Gizzard]

been a jobber most of his career though apart from the BDO win and a couple of PDC semis

[Novo]

Anastacia with red hair, what the ****

[Novo]

she has gone downhill, getting destroyed by the men everyweek wrecked her confidence

[MTVN]

Yeah saw she had a real struggle today, was ridiculous ever having her play with the men lol, the ladies game is so poor

[Novo]

she use to train in my local

[Novo]

looks much better with this hair i have to say

[Novo]

Look at this blonde minx

[seanraff07]

PDC is miles better than BDO.

Still normally tune into BDO though

[Novo]

Bdo know they aren't competition for the pdc, if the bdo had the money and was able to keep stars like mvg, whitlock and barney it would be a different ballgame

[MTVN]

Fitton out in the first round as well, it is all happening this year

[Novo]

fancy dekker for the title

[Alf]

fancy dekker for the title
No chance

He doesn't have the 3 dart average to live with the likes of Stephen Bunting, James Wilson and Tony O'Shea.

[seanraff07]

If Bunting is on form he will do it I think, don't really rate Dekker

[MTVN]

Wolfy playing O'Shea now

[MTVN]

Bloody hell that was easy for Wolfie

[Alf]

What a win for Wolfie

Rolling back the years

[Novo]

Wolfy just comes alive at the lakeside despite how poor he has been the rest of the year

[seanraff07]

Gutted and shocked, really like O'Shea.

How did Bunting get on?

[MTVN]

Won 3-1, should be his for the taking now with the likes of Waites, O'Shea, Fitton out

Kong should have a good chance this year as well

[Alf]

If James Wilson gets through tonight, he's likely to be the danger to Bunting.
But he has a tricky first round match tonight against former champ Christian Kist.

[seanraff07]

Don't really rate Kist to be honest.

[Novo]

Bunting has peaked to early in the competition, he is playing amazing darts at the minute but he won't keep this up

[MTVN]

Yeah quality performance from him there averaging over 100, sounds like he's been really strong all year winning 8 events as well, will take something special to beat him I think

[Novo]

David Pinns was averaging 97 as well

[Novo]

The Averaging as been really impressive so far in this round, Harms and Eccles are hitting 100 and 140s for fun here

[King Gizzard]

this scorer is ****ing annoying

''one unword''

[Novo]

Amazing match and a great win for Tony

[Alf]

I think Kong will put Eccles away in the Quarters.

[seanraff07]

Gutted I'm missing all these matches due to college.

Big fan of Bunting, hope this is his year

[Alf]

Peter Griffin in cruise control 4-1 up over Kong at the break

[Alf]

Bunting in his first world final, beat Green 6-1

[Novo]

come on Dekker

[Novo]

Deta the dark destroyer strolling to the title

[Black Dagger]

****ing embarrassing. I had to switch off.

[Novo]

Deta 73% on checkouts, Pdc men wish they were as clinical as that woman

[Novo]

the dark destroyer has self destructed

[Alf]

Lisa sleeps in at the start of matches, but comes home like a train

[Alf]

Lisa Ashton World Champion

[MTVN]

Bottle job from Deta :xyxwave:

[Novo]

Anastacia had 6 darts to win the match against lisa ashton in the semis as well

[seanraff07]

Anyone been more impressed than usual with the standard of play this year? Bit ropey at the starts but from the quarters onwards the standard has been pretty impressive and very interesting.

Dekker v Norris soon should be another cracker, hope Norris wins

[Alf]

If Norris plays like he has been all week, he should win.
But this is a semi and the pressure's on.

[seanraff07]

If Norris plays like he has been all week, he should win.
But this is a semi and the pressure's on.

Dekker will bottle it I think

[seanraff07]

According to reports, Kist has moved over to PDC and Stompe has moved back to BDO.

If true, good move for both players. Stompe has been sliding down the rankings like mad the last couple years, getting older and I believe he's been more of a pundit in Holland recently. Hopefully he can find some of his form again and get his confidence back up over at BDO.

Although I think Kist would toil at the moment in PDC, once he gets more tournaments/tours under his belt I think he will improve as a player, he also has age on his side and if he puts the practice in could become one of the top players on the PDC circuit.

Scott Waites is crazy, he could be earning huge money in the PDC but doesn't want to give up his job as a carpenter.

[Alf]

Dekker's grinding it out, Not as consistent a scorer as Norris, but I think he has more bottle.

[seanraff07]

Can't stand Dekker

Hope Norris can buck up his ideas

[Alf]

Norris is bottling it

3-2 Dekker at the break

[Alf]

Dekker's grinding him down to the ground, rattled him, completely took Norris off his game.

[seanraff07]

Norris isn't taking his chances, getting worked up too

[Alf]

Norris's superior class has got him back in it, but does he have the bottle to get over the finish line?

4-4

[Alf]

Scores for show
Doubles for dough

[MTVN]

Hope Norris wins, Dekker is even more annoying and over the top with his celebrations than MVG

[Alf]

Really impressed with Dekkers bottle, if only he could score consistently.

[MTVN]

G'wan Norris

[Alf]

5-5 we're going all the way

[Alf]

158, pure bottle by Dekker

He doesn't deserve to lose

[Alf]

Epic game

[MTVN]

Norris!!!!

[Alf]

Tie break

[MTVN]

Quality from Norris, could be a cracking final

[seanraff07]

Yaaaaasssss get in Norris!

What a match, get it right roond ye Dekker :xyxwave:

[Alf]

That was a great game of darts

Bunting vs Norris final

[Alf]

On BBC 2 now

The final

[Alf]

I'm shouting for Bunting, he's a northerner

[seanraff07]

Hope Norris can make a game of this

[MTVN]

Bunting struggling on his doubles a bit here

[seanraff07]

Good, the tighter the game the better.

Norris deserves to win this based on his run to the final, who he's beat on the way

[MTVN]

That's some bottle from Norris on that 113

[MTVN]

Fair play to Bunting, definitely the best player in the BDO now imo and well deserved that

[MTVN]

Bunting is switching to the PDC: http://www.bettingpro.com/category/darts/stephen-bunting-switches-to-the-pdc-201401230001/

Good move I think, definitely good enough and could go on to become a top 5/10 player now, big blow for the BDO though

[MTVN]

Premier League starts tonight

Chisnall vs. Thornton
Wright vs. Newton
van Barneveld vs. Anderson
Taylor vs. van Gerwen
Whitlock vs. Lewis

2 crap games to start off then what should be 3 great games (well maybe not Barney-Anderson)

[Black Dagger]

I still don't get what Chissy is doing in the PL. But whatevs.

[MTVN]

Thornton has messed up my bet on the first game of the night, what a bottle job

[Black Dagger]

I still don't get what Chissy is doing in the PL. But whatevs.

oh ok just shut up lucas, that was quite an impressive first showing, you know nothing.

[MTVN]

Barney averaging 130 over the first 3 legs lol

[MTVN]

MVG beating Taylor 7-0 :umm2:

[Black Dagger]

Absurdly good.

Phil Taylor = 2013/14 season Manchester United.

[Alf]

Hazel looked pretty good tonight, bursting out of her dress

[MTVN]

Yeah she's always showing off her assets at the darts :creep:

[MTVN]

Bid Ade demolishing Whitlock as well

Funny how all the big games turned into such one sided contests

[MTVN]

Lewis to serve Taylor up another 7-0 thrashing tonight

[Novo]

Taylor beat him last week somewhere and nearly got 2 9 darters

[MTVN]

Must just not be able to cut it on the big stage these days

[Novo]

Time to get my bets on

[MTVN]

Trying to play it very safe tonight

-0.5 Michael van Gerwen @ 1.33
+3.5 Adrian Lewis @ 1.28
+4.5 Simon Whitlock @ 1.11
+2.5 Peter Wright @ 1.22

Surely I can not lose

[Novo]

http://i58.tinypic.com/zmzh55.jpg

Should be a nice winner

[Novo]

I don't believe it

[MTVN]

:joker:

That was a terrible game of darts

[Novo]

Looks like I'll have to depend on the trusty correct score market to get back to £10

[MTVN]

What a bellend Whitlock is, can't even win with a +4.5 handicap

[Novo]

Lewis will save the day

[MTVN]

Nice to see Taylor having his ass handed to him again, Lewis didn't even need to play that well

[MTVN]

A nice 7-4 win for MVG now hopefully to recoup my losses

[MTVN]

Raymond van Barneveld v Simon Whitlock
-2.5 Raymond van Barneveld @ 2.10
Wes Newton v Adrian Lewis
-1.5 Adrian Lewis @ 1.44
Peter Wright v Phil Taylor
+2.5 Phil Taylor @ 1.12

Guaranteed cash

[MTVN]

There goes my cash

[Novo]

You bloody idiot

[Novo]

Lewis to win 7-2 7/1

[King Gizzard]

Retire Taylor

[Novo]

Still wouldn't write him off getting into the top 4, his average was 101 tonight

[MTVN]

Some real loose darts when it mattered there though, if he's lucky he might sneak a win against Newton

[MTVN]

Got to love how big Adey always bombs it down the walkway high fiving everyone and loving it even though most the crowd always don't like him

[MTVN]

Lewis to win 7-2 7/1

Why on earth did I put money on this

[Novo]

Got the score right anyway

[MTVN]

Quality comeback from big Adie to get a draw against MVG

[MTVN]

Anderson :worship: another defeat for Taylor, he's going to get eliminated at the first hurdle by the looks of it

[MTVN]

UK Open on ITV 4 atm, the Bull about to knock Wadey out it seems

[MTVN]

Lewis!!!!

[MTVN]

Jammy draw for Chizzy

Taylor-RVB last night of the match will be a good one

[MTVN]

Big Adie's interviews after the games are always amazing, he is the most simple lad there is

[MTVN]

MVG absolutely fuming in his post match interview, don't blame him really, Wright was just pissing around in the game walking away in the middle of his throw to gee up the crowd and stuff

[Black Dagger]

Trust me to go out on a night of drama :mad:

[MTVN]

Had a cracking night in Cardiff yesterday for the darts, will definitely try and go next year now as well. Just a shame that the Wizard bottled his 6-3 lead over MVG

[MTVN]

469107431835176960

[MTVN]

Prem semi finals now, Barney has come from 4-1 down to be leading Taylor 6-4

[MTVN]

Barney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time he's ever beaten Taylor in the Premier League, first time he's beaten him on tv since 2008

Barney vs MVG final now

[MTVN]

Barney +2.5 is evens for the final, what are they thinking, no chance that bet fails

[Novo]

Don't be so stupid

[MTVN]

Barney 5-3 up at the break :smug:

[MTVN]

And that's the bet folks

Now seal it Barney

[MTVN]

Barney wins the Premier League!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

I demand an enquiry

[MTVN]

Lewis is getting beat by some American nobody in the Darts World Cup

[Black Dagger]

Is my Paul still in?

[MTVN]

Yeah they are up against the Welsh in the quarters

[Black Dagger]

Is that tomorrow lunch time?

[MTVN]

Aye I believe so

[Black Dagger]

Smashing, tyvm Matthew.

[Novo]

The Hammer v Chissy in the matchplay right now

[Alf]

When Taylor got interviewed after winning his last match he predicted a nine darter against Smith.

He delivered on his word.

[MTVN]

First semi final of the Worlds on now MVG vs Anderson, Taylor vs Barney later

Amazed Barney is still in, was sure big Bunting was gonna do a job on him last night

[Crimson Dynamo]

watching this and playing darts with smallest LT boy whilst sipping a robust malt

#livinthedream

[MTVN]

Happy for Anderson, amazing performance

Neither Barney or Taylor that great tonight but Phil is always capable of stepping it up that extra gear

[Black Dagger]

Gando better beat him. The thought of another Taylor world title sickens me.

[MTVN]

GET IN GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a match, what a performance, what a hero

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/57447000/jpg/_57447958_136036591.jpg

[MTVN]

Ohhhhhh Gary Gary

[MTVN]

Premier League 2015

Phil Taylor
MVG
Gary Anderson
Adrian Lewis
Barney [Sky pick]
Stephen Bunting [Sky pick]
Dave Chisnall [PDC pick]
Kim Huybrechts [PDC pick]
Peter Wright [PDC pick]
James Wade [PDC pick]

Great to see Bunting in there and glad Wadey is back, really dunno what the obsession with Chizzy is though, Thornton would be a much better pick

[Cherie]

Ohhhhhh Gary Gary

that 180 that never was poor guy I thought he was never going to get over the line. Thankfully Taylor is finally dumped.:hehe:

[Black Dagger]

Was absolutely elated for him :love:

Think that is the most nervous game I've watched in a while where I've been rooting for somebody so badly.

Urgh at Chissy in the PL tho, hopefully he's dumped out quickish.

[the truth]

Another epic final. flying scot gary anderson worthy winner, he held his nerve, his 180s and doubles and delivered on his immense talent... The power another phenomenal effort in his 20th world final. both gracious in victory and defeat respectively. Still gutted the power didn't get his 9 darter...who knows this may be the last time we see the great man at this level....Roll on the premier league etc

[MTVN]

It's back!!!

Clash of the Titans

Michael Van Gerwen vs Phil Taylor, in the World matchplay final, from the Winter Gardens, Blackpool

About to start shortly, Sky Sports 1

[Alf]

Taylor enters the arena

[Alf]

Come on Phil!

[Alf]

Here comes Mighty Mike

[Alf]

Booooooo

[Alf]

Van Gerwen leads 3-2 at the first break

First to 18 legs

[Alf]

6-4 to Mighty Mike at second brake.

[Nicky91]

Walk on girls not up to much here, where is Hazel

Hazel I like her :lovedup:

[Nicky91]

Michael Van Gerwen currently now has a net worth of 5 Million already :)

[MTVN]

Living the dream

[Alf]

World championships start tonight.

Obviously it's hard to back against Van Gerwen, he looks unbeatable at the moment. But I'm gonna be crazy and do so.

So Alf's tip for the title is

James Wade

[caprimint]

Are you betting? :worry:

James has been playing really inconsistently lately, I'd love to see him win it though.

[Alf]

Are you betting? :worry:

James has been playing really inconsistently lately, I'd love to see him win it though.He's back to his best, he gave Anderson a good beating in the Grand Slam semi-final last month, he didn't have anything left in the tank to beat Van Gerwen in the final, but against Anderson, it was vintage Wade.

I've only had a couple of quid on him at 40/1, it was just too good a price not to have a bet.


I've got a first round accumulator on, My first player is tonight, Michael Smith.

[MTVN]

Stacey a darts fan :suspect:

Stacey a darts fan :suspect:

She met Paul Nicholson this year :laugh:

[MTVN]

I trust he was as big a tosser as he seems
